Twenty Five

Days and weeks flew by and so many things have happened with me.

With my MBA friends.

With Clari and Madonna.

And with Reagan.

I also quit from my work and started to earn from writing.

I recently published a book under a small publishing company and I can say that I am now an author.

Smiles widely.

Lol. Now I sounded like a freak.

I sighed and stared at my laptop.

It's one of those days when a writer's block has come to me.

I removed my eyeglasses and closed my eyes for a moment.

This is getting frustrating.

I saved my ongoing work before shutting down my laptop.

I need a break.

I need to unwind before I bury myself with manuscripts and plots.

I grabbed my keys and phone and knocked on Clarinet's door.

Yup. She's back and I have to say that she has been well.

I almost thought she's pregnant because she was practically glowing and she looked like she gained a little recently.

"Come in!" Clari yelled and I opened the door.

I also remembered that I will be needing a blazer too.

I have some book signing event to attend to this coming Saturday.

"Frenny! Do you have any blazer that I can borrow?" I barged into Clari's room unannounced while I saw her struggling to close her pants.

She stumbled and fell on her bed which earned chuckles from me and Madonna who just came in minutes after ne.

"What are you doing?" Madonna teased her and helped her up.

"You are so ambitious! Since when do you have a waistline of twenty seven?!" I exclaimed and pointed on her tummy. "You almost emptied the fruit basket we brought over last time!"

"Try your pleated skirt instead." Madonna with a greater fashion sense suggested and Clari silently followed.

Same thing happened. It looked like she couldn't lock the hooks of her skirt.

She sighed and gave up.

She was just on her undies and a corporate blouse.

"Casual dress will do. " I said and watched her pouted in response.

"Best choice, actually." Madonna added and picked up her black and white outlined dress.

"What's with you? Recently, you were fond of wearing high waisted bottoms and shorts. If I don't know you, I'll assume you're pregnant!!" I commented and rolled my eyes at her.

She was in the middle of putting on her dress when she stopped.

She looked at me and back to her wall calendar as if she realized something.

Me and Madonna both stared at her in confusion.

"Hey, what's with that look?!" I can't help but ask and gaped at her.

"Shocks, Clar! Don't tell me, you guys did the deed already??" Madonna exclaimed.

We saw her face reddened and she began wearing the dress properly and sat on her bed with mixed emotions being shown on it.

Clari consciously hugged her tummy.

"My goodness!!" I squealed and jumped up and down.

"We're still unsure, guys! We still have fifteen days to wait for before we can consider my period as delayed." Clari said in a rational voice but I know, deep down, my friend is very excited as much as we are.

"Oh my gosh! Do you want Maddie and Vale to accompany you to the OB?" I offered instantly.

Madonna nodded and hugged her pillows with a huge smile on her face.

"Sure. I think I will need some company that time.." Clari finally said and we both screamed in delight.

"We'll just change..We'll be quick." I said and we hurried out of her room to our units.

I forgot the blazer I was supposed to borrow from her because of the excitement for a new baby.

Shortly after, I contacted my old and good friend who is an OB-Gyne Dra. Patricia Eusebio, who happened to live above our floor.

Things are getting exciting a lot recently.

Who wouldn't love a little Clari or little Matrix running around the unit?

They would make wonderful and very cute babies!

Now, I am starting to wonder about mine.

I shook my head.

So,  I'm actually hoping that Reagan and I will have our offspring?

That I really will end up with him?

"Hey, still breathing?" Speaking of the devil.

"I bought foods!" Reagan grinned, raising a paperbag from one of the famous fastfood chains.

My eyes instantly sparkled.

I was actually craving for some fries and burger.

Yes. I admit.

I am weak when it comes to him.

We are having our second chance at love.

He bent down to give me a light, airy kiss and smiled.

"I missed you." Reagan said and sat across me on my dining table.

"Missed you too." I said and started unloading the goodies. "But, I missed food more! Aah! Fries! "

I kidded and brought two pieces of it into my mouth.

I watched him frown at the corners of my eye and chewed on the burger.

"Alright! I miss my Rei-rei!" I teased and his lips curved into a smile while chomping on his food.

"If I don't know you're a virgin, I'll think you're craving because you're pregnant already.." Reagan commented and I threw him the crumpled wrapper of my burger.

"Pervert!" I retorted and rolled my eyes.

"Love you!" Reagan chuckled and we continued eating and chatted before he went home.
